HAPPY NEW YEAR...

2011 is upon us and it's shaping up to be a very busy and exciting year for Digital Bride . Firstly I would like to thank all our Bride and Grooms for making 2010 a wonderful year. We were extremely busy (hence the lateness in updating our blogs), but also had the fortune to be asked to capture a few high profile weddings, including Louise and David at Harvey’s Point in Donegal, who were the winners of The Northern Ireland Wedding Journal and COOL FM wedding competition.

We also captured the marriage of Scottish Premier League, Kilmarnock defender, Tim Clancy to Seaneen at Darver Castle in Co. Louth.

Then as the year was coming to an end we were official videographers at the wedding of ex Miss Great Britain, model, presenter and media personality, Gemma Garrett when she married her soul mate, Andy.

(Take a look at our 2010 archive HERE to get a look at some photos and video from these weddings)

At the very end of 2010 Digital Bride gained a new employee… Olivia Grace Kelly Napier. Born on 16th December 2010 to Jackie & Yvonne of Digital Bride. Congratulations on their special Christmas Delivery!

As I said, this year will have many more exciting weddings, news and surprises in store so keep checking in here and on our facebook page for all our updates and if you are attending the huge Wedding Journal Show in the Kings Hall in Belfast from 25th – 27th Feb 2011, pop by our Digital Bride stand (E10 in the main hall, centre aisle) and say hello. You can book discounted tickets online by clicking on the link below.

Finally, here are our last few weddings and pre wedding shoots of 2010 that we just didn’t have time to upload. Enjoy…
